Choc-Beet Smoothie

…I have no internet. Or, rather, I used up all my download for the month and am internet-less for the next week. The good news is, less facebook and more reading! Bad news is, I haven’t posted since last Sunday’s menu plan. I’m currently using my parents’ internet download while the TM whips up the second batch of condensed milk. I brought the TM and a quarter of my pantry-goods over to prepare for Thanksgiving. I am hosting (late) Thanksgiving dinner at my parents’ place tomorrow night, so it makes sense to put the food I cook and prep today into their fridge. Plus, my poor little fridge (already packed full enough) just can’t handle any more food!

Today I have made grissini and digestive biscuits, one batch of condensed milk and soon a second batch, and steamed some pumpkin. I still need to steam more pumpkin and some sweet potato, plus make some pecan toffee and a cheesecake, whip up some ice cream, and cook some tomatoes and some beans. And make a loaf of bread… or three. Gulp. I may be cooking well into the evening, which is just what I need when I’m feeling under the weather.

Anyway, who else is enjoying the craze of mixing beetroot and chocolate? I sure am. I love beetroot, and I love chocolate even more. I’ve seen cakes, brownies, even ice creams that mix the two together! I wanted to jump on the bandwagon. Instead of juicing this morning, Mr T and I made a Choc-Beet Smoothie. Mmmmmmm, it was goooooood!
And here follows the recipe for you all! Thermomix, of course. No reason why you couldn’t at least try this in a regular blender, but it probably won’t be as smooth.

We looooooved this. My body is trying (and not really winning) to fight the cold that Mr T has had this week, so starting the day with this smoothie was definitely a good call.
Now to get back to all the Thanksgiving preparations that I still need to tackle… Happy Thanksgiving! 🙂
